Hi all, just a little background info
Passed my test 1st time round back in 2002, started my way up, 1.0 - 1.2 - 1.4 then got myself a VTR, insurance was a killer for an apprentice so i got it in my dads name, me named driver..
Anyway, one day taking my girlfriend home before i went to work, 2 undercover cops and a panda came flashing up my arse end (I wasnt speeding or doing anything wrong)
When i pulled over outside girlfriends house, they jumped out and ran up to me as if i was some kinda criminal, they asked to see my documents etc, so i gave them Insurance, MOT and my license.
When we sat in the back of the car, the cop said "Are you aware that this certificate is 10 days out of date" (Date was 15th March-Policy was till 5th March)
Needless to say, my arse dropped out and when i rang my dad, he informed me he hadnt re-newed it.
Got to court eventually, and got slapped with 7 points and £200 fine (I already had 3 points for speeding too, 35 in 30 road which i thought was 40)
All this was within my first 2 years of driving so my license was stripped and i never drove again until last year when i finally put in for my license's, passed test first time again, and now have a clean license, but this time im DEFINATLY not getting insured in anyone else's name, thats why ive put up with this daft 1 litre for so long....
thanks for reading, and hope to chat to new people around here
